School ATTENDANCE BOOKS printed from £56 with FREE DELIVERY**
A School Attendance Book is a vital educational compliance document used by safeguarding teams and attendance officers to formally record truancy interventions with parents or guardians. Printed as a multi-part carbonless NCR form, it creates an instant duplicate paper trail detailing specific pupil absences, lateness concerns, and agreed parental support measures without the need for digital systems.
To satisfy strict UK educational standards and Pupil Welfare policies, the printed template captures the exact student name, class, date of intervention, and a mandatory staff signature. By explicitly documenting that parents have been formally notified of attendance concerns, these retained physical records provide schools with a legally robust intervention timeline to support internal Ofsted audits and local authority reporting.
BENEFITS of printed School Attendance forms:
Accessibility: Can be used anywhere, anytime, WITHOUT the need for Internet access or any electronic devices. Just need a pen!
Reliability: Carbonless School Attendance Forms are immune to digital errors, system crashes, or cybersecurity threats. You can count on their accuracy.
Physical: Provide a printed copy that you can hold, file & review.
Durable: NCR Books are designed for durability, featuring Perforated pages with a Stapled & Taped Stub.
Simplicity: NCR Books and Pads don't require technical expertise or training, making them accessible to users of all levels.
Personalise your School Attendance Template:
You can personalise the free School Attendance template for your Schools or educational Academy, including adding your school crest or logo in Full Colour for FREE.
This allows you to customise the NCR template with your branding, which will make you look more professional to the parents and other stakeholders.

What does a School Attendance Book look like?
When do you need to use a School Attendance Book?
You need a School Attendance Book to remind parents that a pupil's attendance is recorded for the school governors or educational authorities for future reference and contain all the necessary details about the stakeholders involved. It is to show them that it's the Parents' responsibility for their child attending school regularly and on time.
What key elements should be on a School Attendance form?
A standard UK School Attendance Form must contain processes for:
- Recording an action of a child in relating to attendance
- Information on UK law regarding a child's attendance record at school or an educational institution
- Recording in writing the date and time the form was written for the Board of Governers and / or the Local Authority
- Describe about the important Actions or measures to be taken by the parents or the school
We can personalise these for your school or educational institution.
We normally print these for educational institutions as:
- NCR BOOKS: 50 NCR Sets perforated, stapled and tape-bound on spine for robustness allowing you to retain a copy in the Book.
